ABOUT STEM CELL INSTITUTE

Providing Unbiased, Scientifically-Sound Treatment Options Since 2005

Our team was assembled in 2005 to provide unbiased, scientifically-sound treatment options to patients with degenerative diseases. The organization arose from the unmet need to provide stem cell therapies that have been shown by others to meet the bar of safety in Phase I trials, but are not yet widely available because efficacy has not been proven.

Our science originates from an American biotechnology company founded by Neil Riordan, PhD who, together with leading Universities has published numerous papers in peer-reviewed medical journals and has 17 families of patent applications.

Our medicine is founded on clinical use of stem cells. Since opening our doors in 2006, we have performed over 25,000 procedures. In order to incorporate the most recent advancements into patient care, we routinely interact with colleagues in the USA and internationally, many of whom are using stem cells in clinical trials.

At the Stem Cell Institute, our mission is to be at the forefront of research with novel treatment protocols for chronic diseases using adult stem cells, always according to the highest international bioethics standards, and offering, with transparency, honesty and human quality, treatments developed to improve the condition of our patients.

These characteristics distinguish us from other stem cell treatment centers:

Publications

We publish our treatment protocols, clinical observations, and theories in peer-reviewed literature. You can find our articles at the NIH site where we have over 60 publications.

Transparency

Our publications and seminars tell the world what we are doing and how we are doing it. We hope this will allow other doctors and scientists to further the science.

Laboratories

Our lab is fully licensed by the Panamanian Ministry of Health and has been inspected by several of our university collaborators.

Doctors

Our doctors are fully licensed to practice medicine and legally administer stem cells in Panama.

Promises

While we cannot make medical promises, we do guarantee to address your questions and concerns with accurate information and to treat you with the utmost respect.

Collaborations

We collaborate with physicians and scientists at major universities in the United States, Canada, and Costa Rica.
